Summary

Marnie MacGraw just wants an ordinary, domestic life with a husband, kids, and a minivan in the suburbs. Marrying the man of her dreams is wish come true for her. But when she met Blix Holliday, her fiancé’s eccentric matchmaker great-aunt who’s dying, everything changes. Just as Blix told her.

When her marriage comes to its miserable end two weeks later, Marnie is still shocked. This was even more so when she discovered that Blix left her Brooklyn brownstone and all her unfinished “projects”—the heartbroken, unconventional friends and neighbors who are desperately in need of happiness. Marnie doesn’t believe she’s special but Blix knew that she was the perfect person take over her matchmaker calling.

Blix was also right about the things Marnie has to learn the hard way: love is not easy to recognize and the ones who push love away are the ones who often need it most.

    Dr. Peter McGraw, founder of the Humor Research Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, teamed up with journalist Joel Warner on a far-reaching search for the secret behind humor. Their journey spanned the globe, from New York to Japan, from Palestine to the Amazon. Meanwhile, the duo conducted their own humor experiments along the way—to wince-worthy, hilarious, and illuminating results. 
    In their quixotic search, they questioned countless experts, from comedians like Louis C. K. to rat-tickling researchers, and answered pressing (and not-so-pressing) questions such as, "What's the secret to winning the New Yorker cartoon caption contest?"; "Who has the bigger funny bone—men or women, Democrats or Republicans?"; and "Is laughter really the best medicine?" As a final test, McGraw uses everything they learned to attempt stand-up—at the largest comedy festival in the world. 
    Funny, surprising, and often touching, The Humor Code is a revealing exploration of humor, society, and an unusual friendship.

    How do you turn ranting about hockey into a career? Steve “Dangle” Glynn is a YouTuber, podcaster, and sports personality from Toronto, who managed to turn a 16-second online rant about the Maple Leafs into a career in sports media. From video blogging in his parents’ house at 19 to yelling on televisions across Canada at 28, Dangle has been involved with some of the most important sports companies in the country. 
    		 
    In between tales of Steve’s adventures, both online and off, This Team Is Ruining My Life is also a kind of how-to (or how-not-to) guide: in an ever-evolving media landscape, sometimes you have to get creative to find the job you want. This is Steve Dangle and his accidentally on purpose journey through sports media so far.

    It's 1947. War's over, cherry-print dresses, parking above the city lights, swing dancing. Beautiful, 17-year-old Violet lives in a perfect world. Everybody loves her.
     
    In 2012, she's still beautiful, charming, and surrounded by admirers.
     
    Veronica "Ronni" Johnson, licensed practical nurse and aspiring writer, meets the captivating Violet in the assisted living facility where Violet requires no assistance, just lots of male attention. When she dies, she leaves Ronni a very generous bequest—only if Ronni completes a book about her life within one year. As she's drawn into the world of young Violet, Ronni is mesmerized by life in a simpler time. It's an irresistible journey filled with revelations, some of them about men Ronni knew as octogenarians at Fairfield Springs.
     
    Struggling, insecure, flailing at the keyboard, Ronni juggles her patients, a new boyfriend, and a Samsonite factory of emotional baggage as she tries to craft a manuscript before her deadline. But then the secrets start to emerge, some of them in person. And they don't stop. 
     
    Everything changes.
